[ANNOUNCEMENT] HTTP_Request2-2.2.0 (stable) Released.

The new PEAR package HTTP_Request2-2.2.0 (stable) has been released at http://pear.php.net/.

Release notes
-------------
New features
 * Socket adapter will send "Expect: 100-continue" header and wait for
   "100 Continue" response by default before sending large request body
   (request #19233). This can be disabled by setting an empty "Expect"
   header, the same way as done with Curl adapter (see bug #15937)
 * It is possible to specify a local IP address to bind to using 'local_ip'
   configuration parameter (request #19515)

Other changes and fixes
 * An infinite loop was possible when using a stream wrapper instead of
   a regular file with MultipartBody (bug #19934)
 * Socket adapter will properly send chunked request body if
   "Transfer-Encoding: chunked" header is set for the request (bug #20125)
 * Updated Public Suffix List to the latest version and updated its download script
 * Unit tests fixes

Package Info

cleaner API and pluggable Adapters:

authentication, cookies, managing cookies across requests, proxies, gzip and
deflate encodings, redirects, monitoring the request progress with Observers...
